A Literary History of the American West (Texas Christian University Press)

The term "western" brings to most minds the names of Owen Wister, Louis L'Amour, Tom Mix, John Wayne, and Clint Eastwood. This 1408-page volume was a giant step toward collapsing that stereotype.

The book includes essays by more than eighty scholars. Some deal with individual authors--Bret Harte, J. Frank Dobie, Larry McMurtry, Edward Abbey, Hamlin Garland, and others. Other essays explore the novel, poetry and drama of the American West from the nineteenth century to the present, and still others discussed the contributions of ethnic communities--Mexican-American, African American, Asian American, Scandinavian immigrant literature, and American Indian writers. Essays also dealt with various sections of the West--from the Midwest to the Far West, the Southwest, the West of the Rocky Mountains.
